Indian Geography-THE PENINSULAR PLATEAU


Plateau is a tabletop land. Indian Plateau is divided into two based on the position of River Narmada. Part of the plateau lying north of Narmada is called Central Highlands and the part lying south of Narmada is known as Deccan Plateau.

  1. Central Highlands: In south it is bounded by Vindhyan range and north-west by Aravalis. The further westward extension gradually merges with the Thar Desert. Its eastern extension is known as the Bundelkhand and Baghelkhand.
  2. Deccan Plateau: This triangular land mass, in south west is bounded by Western Ghats and in South-East by Eastern Ghats. Anai Mudi is the highest peak in Western Ghats and Mahendragiri in Eastern Ghats. Western Ghat is more continuous and hence only with the help of a natural pass, anyone can cross it. On the other side, Eastern Ghat is discontinuous and can be easily crossed.
